Michelle

Michelle, a born and bred Angeleno, is constantly searching for new music (or rediscovering older tunes). Particularly fond of live music, she’s always up for checking out a local show, wherever she may find herself.

This curiosity has led her to back-alley blues bars in the heart of London, jazz cafes in Edinburgh, outdoor stages in Austin and too many others to name. Some of her interests include: letterpress, poetry and fiction, wandering aimlessly, the perfect cup of tea, and supporting local business.

Sjoerd

Sjoerd lives in holland, which is a pretty good breeding ground for music. But don’t let the music the Dutch are famous for (dutch trance and house music) fool you! There’s a lot going on in the Netherlands in terms of Funk, Soul and Jazz (with an optional pinch of beats), which is right up Sjoerd’s alley.
Being the Aurgasm European agent, he is also keeping an eye out for good tunes from the UK scene, as well as the rest of continental Europe. However, no matter where it’s from, what it is influenced by or which box you want to categorize it in, if he likes it, he’ll share it.
